NORGREN B68G‑6GK‑AR3‑RLN B68G‑NNK‑MR3‑RLN Olympian Plus Filter‑Regulator Aluminium Bowl Auto‑Manual Drain 40μm Non‑Rising Lock Knob Max 17Bar For Heavy‑Duty Compressed Air Circuits

Product Description:

The Norgren B07 and B68G series are integrated filter regulator units that seamlessly combine filtration and pressure regulation within a single, compact housing. These units are designed to efficiently remove liquid water and solid contaminants from compressed air lines while ensuring precise control of downstream pressure.

The B07 series represents a miniature range of filter regulators created specifically for installations where space is limited. It features a durable zinc alloy body and a transparent polycarbonate bowl that offers 360-degree visibility. Additionally, the B07 is equipped with a non-rising adjustment knob that includes snap-action locking for secure pressure settings. Available with G1/8 and G1/4 ports, this series supports flow rates up to 24 SCFM (11 dm³/s) and offers outlet pressure adjustment ranges of either 0.3 to 7 bar or 0.3 to 10 bar.

In contrast, the B68G series is part of Norgren's Olympian Plus plug-in system, which facilitates rapid modular installation and removal. These units are constructed with an aluminium body and an aluminium bowl featuring a prismatic liquid level indicator for easy monitoring. The B68G series is available with larger ports including G3/4, G1, and G1-1/2, and is capable of handling flow rates up to 440 SCFM (207.7 dm³/s). It offers an outlet pressure adjustment range from 0.4 to 8 bar and supports a maximum inlet pressure of 17 bar.

Features:

The Integrated Filter and Regulator combines particulate filtration and pressure regulation into a single, compact unit. This design helps save valuable installation space while ensuring efficient system performance.

It is available with two different filtration grades, featuring either 5 µm or 40 µm sintered polypropylene filter elements. These filters effectively remove contaminants to protect downstream equipment.

Users can select between manual and automatic drain options, providing flexibility for convenient condensate removal based on specific application needs.

The B07 model includes a transparent polycarbonate bowl that offers 360° visibility of condensate levels, making monitoring straightforward and hassle-free.

For more demanding environments, the B68G model features a durable aluminium bowl equipped with a prismatic liquid level indicator lens, ensuring reliable performance in harsh conditions.

The unit incorporates a non-rising adjusting knob with a snap-action locking mechanism, which helps prevent accidental changes to the set pressure.

Its relieving design allows for the reduction of downstream pressure when the system is dead-ended, enhancing operational safety and flexibility.

The compact miniature design of the B07 model is ideal for tight spaces, making it particularly suited for small pneumatic systems.

The Olympian Plus Plug-In System, featured in the B68G model, allows for quick modular installation and removal. This facilitates easy maintenance and supports system expansion.

The B68G also boasts a high flow capacity of up to 440 SCFM, accommodating demanding applications requiring large airflow volumes.

Maximum inlet pressure ratings vary by model: 10 bar for the B07 and 17 bar for the B68G, providing options for different pressure requirements.

These units operate across a wide temperature range. The B07’s polycarbonate bowl supports temperatures from -34°C to +50°C, while the B68G’s aluminium bowl functions between -20°C and +80°C.

Lastly, full flow gauge ports are included, allowing for accurate pressure monitoring without any restriction to the airflow within the system.

Applications:

In the realm of industrial automation, it is essential to provide a clean and regulated air supply to pneumatic actuators, valves, and cylinders. This ensures optimal performance and longevity of the equipment used in automated processes.

Packaging and filling machines rely heavily on pneumatic components. Protecting these components through efficient air filtration helps maintain the reliability and accuracy of packaging operations.

Pneumatic systems used in conveyors, pick-and-place units, and various handling systems require well-prepared air. Proper air preparation supports smooth and efficient material movement and handling tasks.

At the point of use, filtration and regulation of compressed air are critical for tools and equipment. This enhances tool life and ensures consistent operation across different applications.

Across manufacturing facilities, general pneumatic systems benefit from the removal of contaminants and precise pressure control. This contributes to the overall efficiency and safety of manufacturing operations.

Textile production equipment that uses pneumatic controls requires air filtration and regulation. This helps maintain steady performance and protects sensitive components within the textile machinery.

In automotive manufacturing, proper air preparation is crucial in various stages such as paint shops, assembly lines, and testing equipment. Clean and regulated air supports high-quality production standards and reliable functionality.

Support and Services:

Our Pneumatic Filter Regulator Lubricator (FRL) units are designed to ensure clean, controlled, and lubricated air supply for pneumatic systems, enhancing performance and prolonging equipment life. For optimal operation, it is essential to install the FRL unit following the flow direction indicated on the product, typically from the filter to the regulator and then to the lubricator.

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and efficiency of the FRL unit. The filter bowl should be checked frequently for accumulated contaminants and drained as needed to prevent clogging. The filter element requires periodic cleaning or replacement depending on the operating environment and usage intensity.

The regulator must be adjusted to the appropriate pressure level for your pneumatic system. Avoid exceeding the maximum pressure rating specified by the manufacturer to prevent damage or unsafe conditions. The lubricator should be filled with the recommended pneumatic oil and adjusted to deliver the correct amount of lubrication to downstream components, typically visible as a drip rate within the sight dome.

In case of performance issues such as pressure fluctuations, air leaks, or insufficient lubrication, inspect all connections, seals, and components for wear or damage. Replace any defective parts with genuine manufacturer-approved replacements to maintain product integrity and warranty coverage.

For optimal safety, always depressurize the system before performing any maintenance or service on the FRL unit. Follow all local safety regulations and guidelines when handling pneumatic equipment.

Our technical support team is available to assist with troubleshooting, maintenance advice, and application guidance to help you maximize the benefits of your Pneumatic Filter Regulator Lubricator system.
